Chapter 70: Strengthening

Now, as the supreme commander of the Naval Resistance Army, Li Guang must look after his family on Shixiang Island. A bunch of chores need to be handled by him one by one.

On the 10th of August, a few days after the departure of the fleet. A 10,000-ton freighter returning from China docked. When the people on the ship got off the boat, Li Guang found that it was not the expected hundreds. Rather, there were more than 2,000 people.

The people on board are divided into four categories.

The first category is the three hundred recruits and sixty professional recruits that Qin Zhan and the sonar soldier Xue Dingyi brought back from Xu Zhan. But with them came more than a thousand people.

The second group consisted of 100 recruits from Nauru, whose number has now changed to more than 200. There are also six or seven hundred Chinese laborers who are willing to come to Shixiang Island to work.

The third category is that Su Maode brought seven concubines, eight aunts, and a cadre of relatives, plus a full hundred. It seems that Summods brought all his relatives with him.

The fourth category is that Professor Yuan Ye brought more than 100 young students, including his four sons. Yuan Chou, Yuan Yin, Yuan Mao, Yuan Chen. Only the eldest Yuan Zi, who was interning in the British Royal Navy, did not come.

Li Guang was very curious about Professor Yuan, who was obviously a history professor, and how he brought in students with all majors, it was incredible. What means did he use to persuade these students, Li Guang was very curious.

The students brought by Professor Yuan are not all college students, almost all of them are college students, and there are all kinds of students from several well-known universities in China, and there are thirty or forty people who are technical talents with work experience, and many of them have the experience of studying abroad. Judging from their manners and upbringing, I am afraid that they are all from a big family, and they must have something to do with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang forces.

You know, this is not the era when undergraduates are everywhere and doctors are not as good as dogs. The difference between an illiterate and a semi-literate person is only the ability to write one's own name. The standard for a reader is simply to be able to write a letter to his family. And cultural people are only high school graduates, and college students are already intellectuals. The people brought by Professor Yuan can be described as elite, and this group of people would not be able to gather in a medium-sized city in the interior of China.

The level of anthropology found by Professor Yuan is no worse than that of Huang Zhonghua's recruitment in Germany, and it is even much higher. This kind of person is almost impossible to find for Li Guang's naval resistance army, and now there are more than 100 people suddenly, and at least 30 of them have a fairly high level of technology and management.

No matter how bizarre Professor Yuan's behavior is, and even Li Guang feels a little unrealistic, are there so many senior technicians and managers in China in this era? Could it be that you are in another time and space? Li Guang is still very pleased with the arrival of so many technicians. With more than 100 people, several of Li Guang's scientific research projects can be advanced by leaps and bounds. It's just a little headache how to choose between Yuan Ran, a beautiful woman and Su Zizi. The background of the two families is really not to be underestimated, and it is too difficult for Li Guang to hug left and right.

Li Guang has always been very hungry for talents, and many important projects have to rely on foreigners to complete. For example, submarines, such a secret weapon actually relied on those four American designers.

The battery is better, now all links are Chinese, but the development is limited, and the output is less than 100 tons per month. Although the originally recruited Chinese are now familiar with the production process, their cultural level is too low, which limits the production management of high-tech products. After receiving the addition of this group of personnel, Li Guang believes that in less than two months, battery production can be doubled.

However, the development of artillery, tanks, diesel engines, and even torpedoes now relies on foreigners, and there is even a freak called Iwaki Shunji.

Li Guang is not unaware of the important surname of technical secrecy, but if it is kept secret, he will not want to develop. In fact, even in the process of manufacturing submarines, some processes were very advanced in this era, but there was a lack of personnel, and Li Guang could only select roughly trustworthy Chinese to take the lead. Some processes that should be kept secret may not be kept secret for a long time. With such a hundred and ten people, Li Guang can enrich almost all departments of R&D, and there is no doubt that the localization of technology will be greatly improved.

Now Li Guang has already intended to move the submarine manufacturing to Shixiang Island after the completion of Pixiu 2, otherwise it will be too difficult to keep secrets.

As the most important navy, Li Guang felt that the method adopted by Professor Yuan Ye was very good. Teenagers over the age of 14 are selected to catch fish. While working, you can get acquainted with the water surname, and even make a model of two 88mm guns in the bow of the ship out of wood, and also get acquainted with the weapon. But this can only be a reserve.

However, as long as there is a reserve, then once the navy is expanded, it can be replenished at any time. Moreover, although Li Guangzao's fishing boats are simple, they are all sailboats, and they also have low-power radio stations. It is also a great benefit for these teenagers to be familiar with warships.

Since the guano business group has nothing to do with Li Guang now, Li Guang has now entrusted two pirates, Juan and Junjiro Koizumi, to take care of the business. Now the guano sales model has changed slightly, instead of just paying some labor costs as before. Guano is now sold for $1.5 a tonne. If you can make at least $100,000 in net profit based on 100,000 tons of sales per month, that's a lot of money. The two pirates were also able to share the 20,000 dollars of the stolen goods, and now the two pirates are doing it very actively. Of course, if the two pirates had any other ideas, Li Guang would not mind using thunderbolts.

Although Laplace's guano trading group protested against the monopoly price, the two pirates now had a contingent of more than 200 people. Laplace's protests were fruitless, and he did not have an army to fight against this black force. And organizing a mercenary army was not a matter of a while, he had to pinch his nose to respond.

And the sinking of the merchant ship of the guano business group that was previously preached in Uruguay is indeed a fact, and it is naturally the masterpiece of Tikerian. The Maritime Resistance Army has already gone to sea, and there will definitely be more sensational news soon.

Due to the evacuation of Li Guang from the Guano Commercial Group, the crews of several previously looted steamships of the Shanghai Anti-Japanese Army have all been evacuated to Shixiang Island. Now he is fishing while starting military training, and at the same time teaching these young people seamanship.

And this is the manpower reserve of the naval part of the Naval Resistance Army. Li Guang admired Professor Yuan Ye's approach, which was actually a disguised reserve of the Army Militia.

The Naval Reserve now consists of 300 men, but their ages vary, most of them are still fourteen or fifteen years old. Although it was not possible to be a soldier for a while, the efficiency of fishing was simply amazing. The food factory simply can't run out of fish caught by 30 fishing boats. In particular, the small and half of the big fat fish are almost all discarded.

Li Guang has never seen this kind of fish, it is chubby, and there is a lot of fat, but the taste is weird, and I want to vomit when I smell it, and no one eats it. After Li Guang contributed the recipe for sulfur soap, the fish would be used to refine the oil and use it to make soap. It's also a waste utilization.

In this era, the fish are really easy to catch, whether it is the fishing season or not, each fishing boat is full of two or three days out at sea.

In terms of education, Professor Yuan Ye did an impeccable job called Li Guang. Almost every intellectual on the island has a job teaching classes. Some have tasks every day, some have one class for a few days, and in short, they are well arranged.

Kindergarten and primary school are as simple as arranging the school building and teacher curriculum. But middle school is complicated. The secondary school now has more than a dozen majors. Although the number of students in each major is small, the foundation has been laid. Li Guang doesn't know how to describe this middle school, but an inaccurate metaphor is that it is a technical school with the lowest level of education.

The students here may not have much education, and they may not even be able to read all the words, and some of them can only add and subtract from two digits. But they're all learning a professional skill.

Some majors are only four or five children, but they are indispensable for Li Guang's company and the Maritime Resistance Army.

In secondary schools, there are four majors with the largest number of students.

The first telecommunications major, taught by Su Zizi, specialized in teaching receiving and receiving telegrams and translating messages, as well as repairing telegraphs. Twenty of them are music professionals recruited from China, and the rest are all little girls. Compared with the students of this major, the education level is relatively high, and they must at least be able to write telegrams.

The second is a medical profession, and the teacher is Yuan Ran's mother, Mrs. Li. Most of the students are boys and girls who are physically weak and unable to go to the battlefield.

The third specializes in mechanical repair.

The fourth profession is electrical repair.

Others, such as flag language classes and light signal classes, are not many, but the foundation has been laid.

The educational method is very special, unscientific but very practical. There are almost no esoteric principles taught at all, just simple use and operation. According to Professor Yuan's judgment, a year can come in handy. According to Li Guang's observations, the education method here is truly individualized. It is estimated that Professor Yuan Ye has investigated the surname, physical strength, and intelligence of these students one by one.

Li Guang felt that Professor Yuan Ye wanted to establish a super comprehensive surname middle school on Shixiang Island, and in his plan, there were hundreds of majors, although the level level was very low, but the categories were complete. Li Guang never thought of such a strange form of education, there are so many categories, but the level is extremely low, and some majors do not even have the most basic requirement of literacy.

Professor Yuan's greatest contribution should be said to have established the island's economic system, and the establishment of the economic system also means the establishment of the social system. Li Guang doesn't see any tendencies at the moment, and it seems to be similar to the situation in China, where there is little creativity in morality and the legal system, but it seems to have a bit of a planned economy.

According to the three chapters of the agreement between Li Guang and Professor Yuan, Professor Yuan was responsible for resettling these people, achieving self-sufficiency within half a year, and providing Li Guang with part of the military expenses within a year. Moreover, it has trained personnel in full accordance with the needs of the army and industry, and has tried its best to meet the needs of the Maritime Resistance Force. However, Li Guang must not interfere with his management methods.

Li Guang wished that this was the case, he simply did not have the energy to run these things. However, the finances of the stone statue island have adopted the model of mutual supervision by the three companies. The political axe is one person from Professor Yuan's side, the capital side is one person from the Su family or more business groups, and Li Guang is one person from the military. The three parties agree on the proportion of tax revenue and supervise fiscal expenditures. Li Guang's arms production is not within the scope of taxation.

As for the other detailed rules, Li Guang actually didn't care, he just needed these people to live well. And Li Guang did not see the possible future tax in his eyes.
